A more thoughtful, tense and overall more minimalist version of Civil War with a gradually escalating atmosphere in the style of Take Shelter. Technically outstanding. Great cinematography and editing. Superb acting, a shame some elements were left unexplained and perhaps the conclusion was too rushed given the…

A tribute to a difficult profession, which it's a shame doesn't have its own category at the Oscars. Fall Guy is certainly not popcorn for everyone, which is why it will have a difficult time with high box office and general acceptance. For the average viewer, it's far too loaded with references, innuendo and props…

Undisguisedly Hitchcockian. The script is very stupid, but what Brian De Palma spoils as a screenwriter, he makes up for mightily as a director. Plus, he's not afraid to use the skills of Ralf D. Bode and Pino Donaggio. More than one scene could have gone straight into the textbooks as an example of "how to slowly…

This hammy romp about a deaf and dumb killer who has to overthrow a totalitarian regime spares no expense with absurd scenes, black humour and incredible action that combines the best of The Raid with childish imagination and naivety. The self-parody sequences where the protagonist tells the story in a video game…

The panoramas of a big city, like Blade Runner from Wish, and the same comparison can be used when looking at the robots, which are very reminiscent of those from Avatar, but in the end everyone will still see through the fact that this is nothing but a quick consumer product from Netflix product, which is…

An impeccable thriller that works brilliantly, thanks mainly to the performances of Audrey Hepburn and Alan Arkin, but also because of the limited space of one apartment. The beginning is quite slow, but the tension builds as the film progresses, the plot unravels and everything leads to a perfectly paced ending.…

50/50 has a particularly likeable cast, an engaging (if perhaps a little clichéd) premise, and great humour that is balanced by the drama. The film follows a young man who has to cope with a hard blow of fate, and while he goes through all the stages of his illness, those around him try to help him in any way they can…

I love Shakespeare's dramas as much as I love their film adaptations, which is why I couldn't pass up The Taming of the Shrew. Thanks to the modern and contemporary adaptation 10 Things I Hate About You, I already knew marginally what it was going to be about, but I still got swept away by the brisk chases and dynamic…

I had previously seen Death on the Nile starring David Suchet, and so I may have been a bit deprived of the gradual resolution of the plot and the final denouement, but I still decided to see this film as a comparison. In terms of story and acting I find it comparable to the newer version, hence I give it the same…

This fifty-minute documentary reveals new facts about the doomsday of 21 December 2012, but there is pretty much as much to know at the end as at the beginning. Could the "end of the world" be related to the movement of the poles, or to the drawings and inscriptions of the ancient Maya, that is the question?! In short…
